Putin gave an interview to an American journalist

In an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, Putin expressed his desire to resolve the situation in Ukraine through negotiations and said, "We did not start the war, we are trying to stop it." According to him, negotiations with Ukraine in 2022 were almost completed, but Kiev canceled all agreements. Putin called on Zelensky to repeal the law prohibiting negotiations, saying that the President of Ukraine has legally banned negotiations with Russia, and reminded that Russia has never refused to negotiate with Ukraine.

In addition, will Putin attack the journalist's Russia and European countries? answered that Russia has no territorial claims to Poland, Latvia or other countries of the continent. "Only in one case: if there is an attack from Poland on Russia. Why? Because we have no interests either in Poland or in Latvia. Why do we need this? We just don't have interests. Only threats. Embarking on some kind of global war is against common sense. And the global war will bring the entire humanity to the brink of destruction. This is clear," he said.
